My coin:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i9.ebayimg.com/05/i/07/50/18/b1_1_b.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i12.ebayimg.com/04/i/07/60/9b/d1_1_b.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said, as near as I can tell, this is what it is.
